This Finnish guy has been teaching himself Sumerian, and sent a cuneiform tablet to the British Museum to check his progress.
They just emailed him that they've sent him something in the post.

lmao at Iddin-Sin, an ungrateful little shit of yore
![Screenshot of a translation of this 4,000 letter, linked within the quote-skeeted article and reading as follows:
"Tell the Lady Zinu: Iddin-Sin sends the following message:
May the gods Samas, Marduk, and Ilabrat keep you forever in
good health for my sake.
From year to year, the clothes of the (young) gentlemen here
become better, but you let my clothes get worse from year to
year. Indeed, you persisted(?) in making my clothes poorer and
more scanty. At a time when in our house wool is used up like
bread, you have made me poor clothes. The son of Adad-iddinam,
whose father is only an assistant of my father, (has) two new sets
of clothes [break] while you fuss even about a single set of clothes
for me. In spite of the fact that you bore me and his mother only
adopted him, his mother loves him, while you, you do not love
me!"
